I have lived on Lido since I bought my house on Garfield in 1992. I have been contacted by the man who lived in my (now) house as a boy in 1958+ (when it was built). He has sent me some great photographs (Lido Casino) and postcards (like new, the old causeway) from the Lido Casino, Ringling Bros. (i.e. a bear on a ball) etc. He would like these to to make their way into a collection to be shared with all.

Please advise if you can help.

Comment on The Herb Garden by Annabelle From Sanibel

I must say, it’s a pleasure to watch this garden grow, and oh my how it took off after Jozette and Arlon watered it with fish emulsion! and did it stink, for awhile, attracting all kinds of huge flies, but wow, is that some kinda fertilizer! I remember Sam, the Fisherman who used to catch 50 to 60 trouts in a couple of hours in front of our bayfront home, back in the 70′s. He would take those fish heads and bury them about one foot underground and then plant his basil plants on top of them. He had fragrant Basil HEDGES all around his little home, all year long! Made the BEST Pesto in the world. I miss Sam! He taught my boys patience out there in the bay!
